12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 27:1-44, Psalms 50-52

MESSAGE:

Humans are social beings that love relationships. We love to celebrate achievements, events and joyful moments. However, its expedient that your celebration should be moderate and purposeful so that it wont glorify the devil.

First, the manner of dressing and food or drinks served at your celebrations must be such as to give glory to God. For example, if you or your guests appear in scanty or revealing clothes and you serve alcohol at the event, be ready to have the devil as the Chairman of the day.

Whenever I celebrate my birthdays, I usually have two goals in mind which are to give to others and also win souls for Christ. Thus, after food and drinks are served, I take a few minutes to share the gospel of our Lord Jesus because in actual fact, each birthday is a reminder that we are getting older and closer to the end. You need to use every means to get the message of hope out and one of the best media is through your celebrations.

ACTION POINT:

Use your celebrations to propagate the gospel from now.

HYMN: Now We Thank We All Our God

1. Now thank we all our God
   with heart and hands and voices,
   Who wondrous things hath done,
   in whom His world rejoices;
   Who from our mothers’ arms
   hath blessed us on our way
   with countless gifts of love,
   and still is ours today.
2. O may this bounteous God
   through all our life be near us,
   with ever joyful hearts
   and blessed peace to cheer us,
   to keep us in His grace,
   and guide us when perplexed,
   and free us from all ills
   of this world and the next.
3. All praise and thanks to God
   the Father now be given,
   the Son and Him who reigns
   With them in highest heaven
   the One Eternal God,
   whom heaven and earth adore;
   for thus it was, is now,
   and shall be evermore.
